Learn about the project and auditions.

The planned video will explain who can audition, the dates, and what to do next.

Are you currently on the “DDS list”?
Yes / No / Not sure

Pending Lisa’s clarification: What does “DDS list” mean? Is this question needed? Does it affect eligibility? Choosing Yes, No, or Not sure does not exclude anyone in this draft.

Optional: Will someone help you register?
Yes / No
Assisted registration and the helper’s role need review.

Optional: Do you need communication or accessibility support?
Yes / No / Prefer to discuss

Optional: “Tell us what would help you participate.” Please do not provide diagnoses or medical information.

Privacy and consent placeholder: DDS and the workgroup must approve what information is needed, who can see it, how long it is kept, and accessible consent wording before collection begins.

3. SCHEDULE

Scheduling placeholder. No live booking.

Proposed dates:
November 20, 21, 22, or 23, 2026.

Times, time zone, audition location or online format, and appointment length will be added after review.

You cannot select or reserve an appointment on this draft.

The workgroup will review whether participants choose a slot or ask staff to assign one. The approved process should prevent double bookings and send accessible confirmation and audition instructions.

DDS and workgroup feedback

Please review these five areas:

1. Eligibility: Who can audition? Ask Lisa to clarify the “DDS list” question.
2. Privacy and consent: Which fields are needed? Who manages access, retention, and deletion? What consent wording is needed?
3. DeafPlus communication access: Are the words and three steps clear? Review ASL, captions, transcript, contact options, and other supports. Check phone readability, screen-reader access, and video controls with DeafPlus participants.
4. Assisted registration: Can a caregiver or communication partner help? How will the participant’s choice and consent be confirmed?
5. Scheduling: Choose a slot or staff assignment? Confirm dates, times, time zone, location or format, length, and accessible confirmations.
